A new featurette for the upcoming Marvel movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has been released. The movie hits theaters on September 3.
The video focuses on the movie's action scenes and reveals some fascinating behind-the-scenes footage of how they were shot. Much of the promo centers around the movie's spectacular bus sequence, as Shang-Chi fights villains while the vehicle races through the streets of San Francisco. There's also a discussion of the movie's various martial arts styles, plus interviews with stars Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Fala Chen, and Tony Leung. Check the video out below:
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings also stars Meng'er Zhang, Ronny Chieng, and Michelle Yeoh. It's directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who previously helmed Short Term 12 and Just Mercy.
In his Shang-Chi review, GameSpot's Mason Downey said the movie "skews more closely to an epic Chinese Xianxia or Wuxia fantasy film like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (which it doesn't shy away from nodding to) than a western superhero movie. There are sweeping, beautifully choreographed fight scenes that are absolute joys to watch, especially when they pit actors like Tony Leung and Fala Chen against one another."
There are still two more MCU set to arrive before the end of 2021. Eternals arrives in November, and the spectacular full trailer was recently released. Beyond that, the third MCU Spider-Man movie--Spider-Man: No Way Home--releases in December. We're yet to see the trailer for that, but it's expected very soon.
